Mobile robot safety – an operational necessity

Presentation at the Mobile Robotics Summit 2025

With Dr Günter Ullrich (Forum-FTS)
Moderator: Nona Brodersen

The safety of mobile robots is not only a technical requirement, but also an operational necessity with far-reaching consequences for manufacturers and operators.

The use of mobile robots in real operating environments places high demands on the understanding and application of relevant safety standards – especially in the European Economic Area. Only if applicable laws and standards are taken into account during the planning phase and when selecting equipment can accidents be avoided and costly operational interruptions reduced.

Safety thus contributes significantly to the economic and productive success of the entire plant and creates the basis for smooth and sustainable operation.
